Our first stop was at the Oakwell Beer Spalocated just outside of Denver. It’s where hops meets hospitality, and there’s nothing like it. The perfect marriage of a day at the spa and an evening at the bar, it is the brainchild of Jessica and Damien Zouaoui, a married couple united by a big dream to shake off their corporate shackles and bring something new to America.
“Damien and I were working at companies, but we really weren’t feeling fulfilled professionally, so we decided, ‘Let’s quit our jobs, let’s pack up,’” Jessica explains. They sold everything they owned and set off on an indefinite journey around the world in search of interesting business ideas to bring back to the United States. “And the agreement was that we would only come home once we had found the perfect company.”

They found that idea in Poland. Damien says they went to a beer spa and fell in love with the business: “There’s a bathtub and a big bed of hay and ten minutes later I have two sips and fall asleep. Jessica woke me up and said, ‘Damien, we have to do this.'”
Watch and learn how the couple developed the perfect business that fits their passions, and how they maintain a healthy work-life balance while navigating the daily ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Cheers to that!
